CHOOSE FOR YOUR SPACE
Start with the space it will live in
Which plants suit a Japanese zen interior?
The look relies on line and negative space. Thorny Bamboo and Heavenly Bamboo have clear nodes and fine leaves. Ming Aralia and Burmese Rosewood offer sculptural stems. Nodding Clerodendron has a softer, arching habit. Tree Philodendron has an open habit. Pick one focal plant, then check each variety’s light needs.
Let one silhouette lead
Choose one plant with a clear silhouette and leave space around it. Select a pot colour that works with the furniture, then allow enough width for the foliage.
Shape is not a care guide
A name containing “bamboo” does not make two plants the same species. Check each plant’s light and watering needs before choosing its position, and understand its growth habit before pruning.

Before you order
Will the plant look exactly like the photograph?
No. Natural stems and foliage vary. If the silhouette matters, ask about photographs from the current batch.
Can this style work in a small room?
Yes. Choose one focal position and keep the surrounding pieces simple. Match the plant to the available light and foliage width.
Are all bamboo-like plants suitable indoors?
No. Light requirements vary by species, so check each product’s information.
What pot suits a zen-style plant?
Pick a matte, simply coloured pot in grey, beige or a dark tone that echoes your furniture. Avoid busy patterns so attention stays on stems and foliage.
Do styled plants need frequent pruning?
It depends on the variety and growth rate. Prune lightly and in stages, and learn the plant’s habit first so you don’t remove too much foliage at once.
How long does delivery take in Hong Kong?
Delivery normally takes 3–7 business days after ordering to Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories, excluding outlying islands. The date still needs confirmation; public holidays and severe weather can cause delays.
How much does delivery cost?
Delivery is free on orders of HK$1,500 or more; otherwise, it costs HK$200. Direct lift access carries no stair charge; carrying upstairs costs HK$50 per floor. Please ask us about unusual access.
What if my plant arrives with a health issue?
Contact us within seven days with your order number and photographs of the plant. Claims are handled under the returns policy; the health promise does not cover every reason for an exchange.
